最近有一对年轻夫妇来到事务所，他们想放弃原来的工作，开始自己的新业务。他们跟建筑师说，希望开一家连锁小旅馆，布局紧凑，为不同年龄的游客提供住宿，让他们享受超级舒适的床。夫妇两人把该项目命名为“YIM”， 在泰语中就是“微笑”的意思，是根据曼谷商业区的名字而命名的，那里有很多旅馆，这里很快还会建造其他旅店。建筑师将20多年的旧商店进行改造，建造了小旅馆，共有16个房间，这里之前曾是公寓的销售办事处。

旅馆的别名是“蝙蝠侠招待所”，很有特色，保留了许多旧元素，让人想起超级英雄布鲁斯·韦恩身着黑色西装的场景。旅店的外观很有现代感，富有时代气息，手工制作的竹板很有当地特色，常见于泰国乡村的小房子设计，突显了建筑结构，竹墙的设计还可以保护住户的隐私。

里面有大理石柜台，相当于接待处，后面的墙上贴满了旧的时尚与设计杂志，旁边是巨大的时钟，外层都是多彩的玩具。用餐区内铺上了白色瓷砖，几米之外，就是公共活动区，色调鲜明，很有活力。旅店内有蓝绿色的楼梯间，2楼有橙色的大厅，三楼有黄色的走廊。16个房间设计简约，采用了白色的自然木材，空间宽敞，设有6个双层床，看上去像是胶囊旅馆。住在这里经济实惠，体验当地生活，Yim Huay Khwang旅馆是不错的选择。

From the architect. Recently a young couple came to our office telling us that they would like to leave their routine jobs and start their own new business. They told us about their dream to have a small hostel chain offering compact but super comfortable beds for travelers of different ages. They named their dream project “YIM”, meaning “SMILE” in Thai. The very first one is Yim Huai Khwang. It is named after the bustling district of Bangkok where the hostel situates. Shortly, there will be few more to come and locations will always be added after “YIM.” This primary move is to take over the 20+ year old shop house and transform it into a 16 room pilot hostel. Previously the building was a rent condominium sales office.

The conversion process of exterior and interior in this project has a lot to do with ‘archiving’, meaning the building will have to look fresh and different from what it used to be while many of old elements are to be kept intact. The project is nicknamed, “Batman hostel”, a version of the superhero that still shows a lot of Bruce Wayne under the black suit. Very clearly, the project is a transformation process that hint to the tracing back of its original condition.

The main operation for the exterior is to reveal the original modernist façade of the existing building which has a very strong expression of its time. The bamboo panels, typically hand-made and used in small houses in rural area of Thailand, are inserted behind the existing sunshade to make contrast background and emphasize the form of the existing architecture that we admire. The bamboo walls also act as defining frames of the hostel rooms giving privacy between each unit.

The interior is about juxtaposition of different concepts. The marble reception counter left from the previous renter is kept attached to the new collage wall made of old fashion & design magazines. Separating by the giant clock clad with colorful toys, guest dining area is an all-white vintage tile space. Just a few meters away, the public area of the hostel is a bombarded with vibrant colors; the turquoise stair well, the orange hall on 2nd floor and the yellow corridor on 3rd. Inside the 16 hostel rooms are kept simple using white and natural wood colors to make the compact rooms feel spacious. 6 bunk beds are combined and built in capsule-like units to add little more privacy.Staying in the hostel these days is more than just about budget sleeping, but experiences what the place has to offer. In a way, Yim Huay Khwang Hostel is trying to prove that.
